La Ceiba and Pico Bonito National Park, Honduras

Natural wonders and adventures abound

La Ceiba is the third largest city in Honduras, and is probably the country's most vibrant. A relatively young city, it got its name from a huge Ceiba tree that was next to the beach and provided shade to the workers at the dock and locals during the afternoon. It is the capital of the department of Atlantida, one of the 18 departments of Honduras, and gateway to the Bay Islands. But La Ceiba is a lot more than a port city with lots of hospitality and charm. It has the potential to develop into the Ecotourism Capital in Central America. The Pico Bonito National Park, Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge and the Cayos Cochinos Marine Reserve are but a few of the many nature attractions available at just a short distance from the city.

LA CEIBA CITY

La Ceiba itself is pretty easy to get around in. There are two parallel main avenues that run perpendicular to the coast line: The Avenida San Isidro and the 14 de Julio. Most streets are numbered, with first street being the one running adjacent to the coast. The zona viva, where most of the restaurants and night life is to be found is on this street.
